A gorgeous special edition of Jane Austen's most sophisticated novel to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of her birth.
A dazzling pocket-sized special anniversary edition bound in real cloth with foiling, sprayed edges and a ribbon marker to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth. Part of a collectable series inspired by Jane Austen’s life and work.
Jane Austen's most mature and wickedly satirical final novel, Persuasion follows the story of Anne Elliott, who as a teenager was engaged to a seemingly ideal man, Frederick Wentworth. But after being persuaded by her friend Lady Russell that he is too poor to be a suitable match, Anne ends their engagement. When they are reacquainted eight years later, their circumstances are transformed: Frederick is returning triumphantly from the Napoleonic War, while Anne's fortunes are floundering. Will their past regrets prevent them from finding future happiness?
With original illustrations by the celebrated Hugh Thomson and bonus material about the design.
